Portfolio examples on this page have been selected to highlight the breadth of my potential contributions to your organization. Without question, my greatest satisfaction comes from brand creation, message development, and resulting sales achievements. However, especially when marketing resources are limited, I look to help in as many ways as possible. I thrive on accomplishing more from budgets than expected.
When I say that I can develop something completely, I really can! For many of these projects, I generated the concepts, created the designs, and composed virtually every word. Put me on your payroll and I’ll prove it.
